types of testing? and what is mean bvt and bat ? differ
btwn bvt and bat pls can anybody post the answer

Answer Posted / hoss

BVT = Build Verification Test (Sometime Build Validation
Test)
BAT = Build Authentication Test

BAT is run before BVT. They are sometimes run together.

BAT is more to prove that a build built correctly, all
files are present and in correct locations, etc.
Sometimes BAT gets into actual installation of build.

BVT then gets into some basic verification of features
that ensure build actually functions at same predefined
basic quality level. Typically breadth, not depth. Its
to prove the build is of enough quality to warrant
spending the time to install it and perform full testing
or for dev purposes. They are also used for maintaining
a minimum quality bar over time, sometimes increasing
coverage through the project cycle. BVT passes are
typically short, often kept to 15 minutes or less for a
given flavor of a build.

Many people also get into BVT+ which is just extended
coverage but would typically not "fail/reject" a build
if the BVT+ cases failed. This is often done as
additional info and to indicate if build is ready to be
put through an extensive full automation pass.
